One thing I've noticed about most writers is we don't mind sharing, in fact, we enjoy doing so. I've been writing a number of years now, and have picked up some handy information along the way. One basic tip I'd like to share is: Don't Backstory Dump. In other words, don't say too much about what happened before the story begins. Instead, sprinkle it in bits and pieces, so the pace doesn't slow to a crawl. I bet you've learned a tip or two also, even if you're a beginner. I'm inviting you to leave a tip on the Blood Red Pencil in the comment section below. It's not required, but if you happen to remember, by all means mention where you got it. Or, if you particularly like or agree with a tip already mentioned, don't be afraid to comment. Then, be sure to leave your name, plus one website or blogspot link. If you wish to divulge where you heard about this post, you're welcome to do so. Happy Sharing! -----------------...
